Even though most people have access to television shows and movies through their smartphones, it can be difficult to hold them in one’s hands for more than a few hours.

Some planes are now equipped with special features at the back of the seats, which allow passengers to view their smartphones hands-free and without any health risks.

Michelle Lei, a traveler, found one on an Alaska Airlines flight that allowed her to spend some time relaxing.

The back of the seat she was sitting in found a shelf that could be folded down. This allowed her to place her phone down to watch films and not have to carry it around.

It has a small lip to hold phones in place. The clip above made it compatible with bigger devices.

Michelle shared her find TiktokA video that has been seen over 50,000 times.

Michelle (@bymichellelei) said: “I legit did not know this guys”.

Other passengers also responded, saying that they were equally excited by the simple but effective solution for keeping them entertained on flights.

One wrote: “I was mind blown too.”

The second was: “These are new but so amazing!”

Another added that they weren’t yet on all Alaska Airlines flights and that it wasn’t known if any other airlines would add them.

Passengers may need to resort to the sickbag technique to create their own entertainment system in the back of the seat.

It involves taking out your phone from the case and searching for the sick bag once you are seated on the plane.

  1. Place the bottom part of the bag into your phone’s case.
  2. Next, slot your phone back into the case, essentially wedging the paper bag in between your phone and its cover.
  3. Next, place the tray table attached at the seat in front.
  4. You can place about half of your sickness bag on the tray. Then, fold the tray in half.
  5. Use the sliding bolt to secure the tray.

Some airlines have begun to warn passengers about losing or dropping their phones on flights.
